- Cutscenes will deal with Gaius addressing the corruption and flaws of the Empire, perhaps with the WoL calling him out on some things. If no new Legatus is introduced as the person behind the project, we'll likely get Gaius' thoughts on Varis' inhumane usage of his soldiers as seeming batteries for the bosses.

- Trials will be Ruby, Emerald, and Omega Weapons.

- There will be a dungeon before the latter fight where Jade, Sapphire, and Diamond weapon are bosses. Midgar? Junon's Underwater Reactor?

- If Omega Weapon is indeed used and there's a Legatus overseeing things, the Legatus will intentionally hook themselves up to OW to try killing the WoL.

Lol, fail at the moment you mention Omega...

Its more than obvious that the Weapons coming will be based on the most well known ones from FF7, otherwise SE wouldn't begin with Ruby Weapon, so its quite clear that the other two will be Emerald and Diamond Weapon, which were the 3 strongest Weapons in the game. There existed no Omega Weapon in FF7.

If we will see ever an Omega Weapon they way it is known from FF8, then I guess eventually as part of the last Eden Content Part as a Boss battle, because Eden is FF14's homage to FF8 actually.

I'd be very surprised if we get to see Saphire Weapon eventually as a Dungeon Boss, and far much more surprised if SE truly pulls out the bunny out of the magic hat and brings the Weapon that only Hardcore FF7 Fans know existed as part of that japan only FF7 handy game Before Crisis, but wasn't part of the original - Jade Weapon - extremely unlikely, even much more unlikely than Omega Weapon that has absolute no FF7 relationship at all.
